Get Organized With Manostiles Boxes

This weekend is my big Spring cleaning weekend and it’s funny but I can’t wait to get started! I’m ready to donate a bunch of clothes and buy some plants for my balcony and get my home ready for the season. Also, my goal for Spring is to get a better system in place when it comes to organization. Today I was in touch with Manostiles, a Danish company that designs home items, and found their boxes to be quite lovely and perfect for storage. The key to good organization is to have specific places for everything and if you are using boxes like these, to have a good labeling system so you know what is inside of them. I have a few boxes similar to what you see below that are covered in Indian prints and I think Leslie and some others online have similar boxes too — I’ve seen them around the web in mostly people’s home offices, so they seem to be a storage solution that many enjoy. I guess it’s hard to resist pretty boxes with things tucked inside!

If you would like to order these great boxes, you can purchase them online at Cahetu, they ship worldwide and I imagine rates would be okay since these boxes are very lightweight and many can fit inside of other ones… Manostiles will begin selling them on their website in April if you want to order directly from them.

I personally love the magazine holders and the clear shoe storage boxes that could store anything really. I particularly like seeing the clear ones stacked in a work room or above, as shown by a bed doubling as a bedside table which is clever and budget-friendly. But back to those magazine files, I can never get enough of gorgeous magazines and since I refer back to them so frequently, having them tucked away in pretty holders nearby my desk is practical and inspiring. I love to be surrounded by things that spark my creativity!

I love little boxes for holding treasures and everyday items. But, I have to be careful. At the moment, I’m creating chaos with too many boxes that aren’t a good size for anything I need them for, or just holding a mess of knick-knacks and chatskis!

I love the bold patterned ones. Completely unrelated, but when I scroll to the top of your blog, there’s a little teeny smiley face hiding in the upper right corner. Has that always been there? Made me smile. ;)

I think these boxes would be perfect for my overflow yarn storage as well as all the little things one needs for knitting, felting and spinning. They’d also be great for some of my herbal supplies…in a nice green! Thank you for this inspiration.

I love these pretty boxes! I have some of my own for storing my craft and sewing supplies. It’s creatively inspirational to have your supplies in something pretty!Alexis´s last blog post ..The Slow Life

The. Best. Storage. Ever. (well, these and anything else that will keep my materials organized.) But still… so wonderful and such a great way to pop color all over the place. It’s like a group hug, being surrounded by these boxes. Off I go to order me a few!
